The 55 points the Philadelphia Eagles scored Sunday in their NFC Championship Game victory against the Washington Commanders were the most ever in a conference title game.

The previous record occurred in the 1990 season when the Buffalo Bills trounced the Oakland Raiders 51-3.

The Eagles are hoping they don’t meet the same fate in Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs that the Bills did in Super Bowl XXV against the New York Giants – or that many of the other high-flying offenses in conference championship games have met.

Teams that have scored 40 or more points in a conference championship game are just 3-7 in the Super Bowl.

And the average margin of defeat in those seven losses was an astounding 18.8 points.
